You shouldn't have to bleed the whole system on a MC change.

Check out B.C. Bob's earlier post here.

Bench bleed (on the car) using lines like these (from Rob Bariess). Buy a cheap 2' line (European ISO bubble flare) and cut in two.

When MC is bled, prop the brake pedal down about 1 1/2". This will keep fluid in the MC while you reconnect the car's lines to the MC.

Remove pedal prop and, with connections slightly loose, follow Bob's "reverse bleeding" procedure from the LF caliper, then tighten lines.
